After factoring in the gravity of the Medway Issue and the related quality control problems, (a violation of the Pharmaceutical Affairs Act and GMP ministerial ordinance), and recognizing the need to prevent any further incidents of misconduct, the Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Group has introduced an annual Corporate Behavior Charter Day, which offers employees the opportunity to review the Group’s Charter and reflect on their individual conduct.

In fiscal 2023, we held annual compliance meetings at worksites throughout Japan. At these meetings, which are focused on exchanges of opinions, employees read the Compliance Guidebook together, and sign pledges in which they vow to conduct themselves in accordance with the Corporate Behavior Charter and the Compliance Guidebook. We also held compliance meetings at overseas Group companies by including content unique to specific regions as well as content used in Japan.

The MCG Group has established a section on “Respecting Human Rights” in its Charter of Corporate Behavior. This makes a clear declaration that we will respect each other’s human rights, and work to create safe, comfortable working environments. The Compliance Guidebook, which can be viewed on the corporate intranet by all employees of the domestic Group, states clearly that the Group will not tolerate acts that violate human rights or prevent people from exercising their abilities, such as discrimination or harassment, or the use of power to force subordinate employees to engage in excessive work (sexual harassment, power harassment, etc.)

Additionally, in November 2022, the Group released a “Message on Prohibition of Harassment” under the name of the manager of the Japan Human Resources Department, directed to all employees of the company’s domestic Group. This message was a clear statement of the company’s stance of prohibiting harassment. Moreover, the “Harassment Prevention Guidebook” released in 2018 was revised in January 2023. In April 2024, we formulated our “Guidebook for Understand LGBTQ+,” and are circulating it among our employees.
In November 2023, the management of the Japan Human Resources Department issued a message on eradicating harassment. We will hold harassment-prevention training on sexual harassment and alcohol-induced harassment to eliminate harassment and create comfortable workplaces.
